Yeah alright
@Trash80 , will there be a chance to implement this or should I forget about it?

I can see your image on your music post and also the bigger image below.
Maybe it's related to wherever you're hosting the image, sometimes it ends in .jpg but it's actually something else like a script (imgur does this now, super annoying)

use the IMG tag.

Make sure you're linking to an actual image and not a script or other URL.

Yeah I get that and I am happily fulfilling the challenge on my own, but it feels kinda weird to being part of this but not share what you have done with weeklybeats peers, hence my request for allowing me to upload so every site member can listen, but disable downloads of what I upload. I believe it's a fair request. Also the requirement of "upload before deadline" gets kinda blurred in my case, where I don't really go through the process of finalizing a track for upload because I don't need to (and in my current setup and progress, that means I am avoiding two steps of the process: recording and digitizing), and that's a cop out. I could use the extra motivation

I understand resourceful people can still get MP3s out of the site code or whatever, but that's beyond the point, I cannot and do not intend to stop that.

So if you can implement this feature without breaking the website, I'd appreciate it! I can upload with "copyright" to avoid its including on the torrent. Perhaps songs marked as  "copyright" can be excluded from the RSS feed too? Or some other tag can be added that would exclude them from the rss feed?

Sorry to drag on about this, and feel free to tell me to give it up

Yup I understand that, but that implies a bunch of tinkering by whoever wants to do that, instead of just clicking "download".
I mean, the same could happen with Bandcamp files, right? Or are you exposing the exact file uploaded directly?
In any case even if the download button is the only thing one can disable, that'd be nice I guess.

Yeah I read that now, but I had no idea the torrent was a thing. I don't come into the forums unless I have a problem I need solving.
So it's no good for what is already out there, it's in the torrents already because I probably released it with a CC license. I never uploaded stuff here with the intention of it being redistributed and I am quite upset that it was but it was my damn fault too.

In any case I'd still like my tunes to not be downloaded from here. Listenable yes, but downloadable, no.

[edit] so here goes another week where I finished something but have not uploaded it because of this. I hope this can be implemented, would really appreciate it)

I rather stream to listen than download it all. It'll just pile up in one of my hard drives.
Also can't bother to mess with Python scripts.
If I had a shoutcast server in my domain I'd do this myself.
